Sounds like she’s leaving all the decisions up to you. Maybe you could give her, say, a week to make her mind up, and tell her whatever she decides then is final, ie no more prevaricating? A week “set aside” from arguing might give you a breathing space too?

Seem to recall a story that HSA kept stubbornly pushing and pushing the Trident derivative despite the MOD telling them they preferred the Comet variant, to the point where the Ministry effectively told them to forget the whole thing and they would buy the Atlantic (or was it the Orion?) instead.
I didn’t know that Victorian cars existed, let alone women to drive them………;)
I remember seeing a reproduction ad for a Victorian car on a Viz calendar once. It was advertised as “Not just a horseless carriage, but a vaginal lodestone.” They only sold three, mainly because petrol still hadn’t been invented, and blind German pianist Beethoven bought one and accidentally pushed it into his swimming pool.

Impending job cuts to be announced at my place late in April.
Never rains but it pours, eh mate? For what it’s worth, I’m just coming out of that long redundancy process, so I know how you feel right now. Bloody awful experience, waiting endlessly for the lists to come out, waiting for volunteers to come forward, waiting for the consultation process with the unions, waiting for the bloody company to get it’s act together (that’ll be the day), trying to convince yourself you’re not really bothered anyway, comparing yourself with your workmates and hating yourself for it, not knowing whether to work harder to try to hang onto your job or say “F-it, why bother if I might not be here in a few weeks?” Looks like I’m going to be OK-ish (Same company, different job, less money) but I wouldn’t want to go through all that again in a hurry. Hang in there mate, and it will most likely all resolve itself in time.

Surprised to see both Heathrow and “Swampy” (Bangkok Suvarnabhumi) in the list. :confused:
I heard a crazy rumour there will be a Vulcan flying at Waddington this year… :diablo:
Think I read somewhere that the RAF’s Phantom gun pods were of little practical use due to oscillating (“wobbling”) when fired, making them very inaccurate. True?
Not a joke as such, but I liked the moment on one of those “Airline” type programmes when a passenger got very upset because the steward happilly sold her 200 duty free cigarettes, but then to her surprise refused to let her smoke any of them. “Madam,” he said, “They sell condoms in Boots… Need I go on?” Defused the situation beautifully.

MW2….im always getting lag on my XBL account too
what makes me angry about that game is the americans who come on and start arguments with us brits about WW2…why cant they just let it rest….ive lost count of the number of times they have had a go at me saying that they saved us and we would of lost if it wasnt for them, im not getting into it on here but its annoying…and their insults extend as far as (in a really bad attempt at british accents) tea and crumpets
Don’t rise to it, Scott. The whole world knows who stopped the Hun in his tracks. Maybe they’re just embarrassed at having turned up late for both shows. 😉

My two year old son had a habit of leaving the bedroom door wide open, wasting expensive heat, and any request to close it often resulted in him fleeing to his mum sobbing “Daddy naughty!” So at the weekend I fitted a door closer, and guess what his favourite game is now? Yes, that’s right, repeatedly opening the door so he can watch it close itself again. Wouldn’t change the little tyke for the world though. 🙂
